Re: Thrombophylia and recurrent abortionsFrom: D. Ashley Hill, MD (dahmd@cfl.rr.com)Tue Jul 2 09:23:54 2002
Recently a patient requested confirmation that the "dose" of progesterone cream she was using was adequate for "fetal support" in the first trimester. She has no prior miscarriage history, and has no evidence of luteal phase defect. She told me "everybody knows that 70% of miscarriages are due to lack of progesterone" so she and her friends take this over-the-counter preparation to prevent miscarriage. I explained that inadequate progesterone was a possible cause of about 5% of miscarriages, and that progesterone supplementation is a controversial subject. She didn't buy it, and decided to increase the amount. Once again, inadequate or incorrect information leads to poor consumer choices. Ashley

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
